How to Edit and ChangeYour DWG Profile Information

During the course of being a DWG distributor there may come a time when you may move from one location to another. When you do this, most of you will take the time to complete an address change that you may get at any post office. Then there is the long list of relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. that need to be told your new information. When going through the long list of people and companies to notify there are times when notifying DWG may “fall through the cracks”. By following the simple instructions below you will now be able to go to the BackOffice Support Area and make any changes on your own...this may be something as simple as just a new email address or new phone number. All the contact information that you have given DWG International™ since you signed up as a distributor is listed here for you to update at your convenience.

Login to the BackOffice simply by following the instructions provided in the Global Email titled, “BackOffice Tip” dated May 29th.

Once you are in the BackOffice Support Area Information Center you will see a number of different icons that will provide you with different information.

Scroll your cursor to the very top of the page where you will see 5 icon boxes. Move the cursor over the box marked, “Profile Edit” and click once to open.

This will open a page that will tell you “PROCESSING PLEASE WAIT”. After a very short period (depending on your computer) it will open to the “Edit Your Profile” page.

You will see 2 columns on this page...one on the left contains all of your contact information that you have provided to DWG International™ and on the right you will see a corresponding blank box for each line on the left hand side.

To update your information simply type in the changes you wish to make in the blank box on the right side that corresponds with the “old” information located on the left side.

Once you have completed entering all the new updated information in the corresponding boxes on the right side move your cursor on the icon called “Submit Changes” and click once.

This will open to a separate page. At the top of this page you will see all the NEW information that you just entered into the “boxes” along with the verbiage:

Solutions Group Team Members:Just wanted to share some gas saving tips with you that I hope you feel are useful and will share with other customers, friends, prospective customers, or whomever your feel could benefit. Using these simple tips, I was able to increase my MPG on a tank of gas by 3 MPG from 21 to 24 MPG on a 4L V6.. If you have additional tips - send them to me - I'd love to hear them!(1) Fill your tires to the maximum allowable pressure as stated on the sidewall of the tire, however, do not over inflate. This reduces rolling friction, and will increase mileage.(2) Fill your engine's crankcase with the manufacturers specified oil, which for most new cars is 5w20. Add a bottle of DWG Polyguard-1 Oil Treatment. This improves the lubricating characteristics of the oil and reduces friction.(3) Get to the highest numerical gear in your transmission as soon as you can. In transmission design, there is a ratio call the "N over V" or N / V ratio. This is the ratio of Engine Speed (N) to Vehicle Speed (V). Your vehicle gets the best gas mileage when the N / V ratio is as close to 1 as possible. This means at low engine speed and high vehicle speed. This occurs in the highest numerical gear in your transmission (4th, 5th, or 6th).

(4) Coast whenever you can. Going down hills or approaching a stop sign in the distance, put your transmission in Neutral and coast. This lowers your engine speed to idle, while getting a very low N/ V ratio during the coast. If your vehicle has an onboard computer that computes instantaneous MPG, check what it reads when you coast from 50 MPH while in Neutral - it will max out.
